I heeded it in the sense that I read it and understood that it might
be the problem. I did go searching in the Control Panel for likely
utilities, but I couldn't find anything in User Accounts or anywhere
else that would let me set user rights or that even told me what
they were. I did not search Windows Help and Support. That sort of
cluelessness was meant to be implicit in the statement, "I don't
know how to diagnose this sort of failure," but I suppose I should
have been more clear.
So how does one set that right?
